Had an awesome time and fun on this Egypt tour by the operator Planet Tours. The whole team from the drivers, staff helping at the airport with visa, support staff were very helpful. I would like to mention, my tour guides Robert, Ahmed and most of all Yasin the coordinator of this trip were very helpful, knowledgeable, supportive and patient. They made this trip happen and made it a memorable one for me by taking care of every detail which I will cherish. From the first day of airport pickup till the last day back to the airport drop, they made sure to make it easy and comfortable for me as medically can be challenging for me. Couldn’t ask for more. Thank you so much Planet tours and the team.Show more

  Can you clarify if Felucca or Cruise as mentioned in the accommodation
- Planet ToursOperator•Written August 2025
  So there are two activities that day you will check into your cruise boat which will be your accomodation and means of transport from Aswan to Luxor and is completely separate from the Felucca ride. You will have an excursion on a Felucca which has no accomodation, it is an old fashioned wooden sailing boat that does trips around the Nile in Aswan. This excursion lasts about 35-40 minutes.
